Cirrus-ci-docs: CIRRUS_WORKING_DIR default not working

[kne42]

I have not checked on other OSs, but this is at least applicable to windows builds

Expected Behavior

CIRRUS_WORKING_DIR should have a default value of "cirrus-ci-build folder inside of a system's temporary folder" when not defined

Real Behavior

it is undefined

@kne42 could you please attache an example of such task where it happened?

[kne42]

here's a toy example

task:
    windows_container:
        image: cirrusci/windowsservercore:2019
        os_version: 2019
    env:
         USING_CWD: $CIRRUS_WORKING_DIR\something
    test_script:
        - echo %CIRRUS_WORKING_DIR%
        - echo %USING_CWD%

it shows up as

$ echo %CIRRUS_WORKING_DIR%
C:/Users/ContainerAdministrator/AppData/Local/Temp/cirrus-ci-build
$ echo %USING_CWD%
\something

[kne42]

so I guess a more accurate description is that the default is not properly set before evaluating environment variables

I can reproduce it in an integration test. Working on a fix. 👌

[fkorotkov]

This is fixed now. Took a while to roll the change since it a change on the Cirrus agent side.
